Advanced DHA 960 mg by Thorne

If your priority is brain, mood, or vision, a high DHA fish oil is the right tool. DHA concentrates in the brain and retina, so it’s a better match than EPA‑heavy oils for knowledge workers, students during intense focus periods, and adults who notice mental fatigue when seafood intake is low. It also fits pregnancy planning when fish intake is limited. If your Omega-3 Index (the percent of EPA+DHA in red blood cells) is in the lower range, this is a practical maintenance step.

DHA embeds in nerve and retinal cell membranes, making them more fluid and efficient at signaling. EPA and DHA also shift the body’s signaling molecules away from pro‑inflammatory ones, which is why some people see small drops in hs-CRP (a blood marker of inflammation). For blood lipids, EPA+DHA together reduce how much fat the liver exports as triglycerides, but that effect typically needs multi‑gram dosing.

Take two gelcaps daily with a meal that includes fat, which improves absorption and cuts down fishy burps. Most people take the full amount once daily; splitting with breakfast and dinner is equally effective. Expect your Omega-3 Index to rise within 4 to 12 weeks. This 960 mg total omega-3 is a maintenance dose; repletion from very low levels can require higher daily amounts under clinician guidance.

If your main goal is lowering elevated triglycerides, this dose is usually too low; look for 2–4 grams per day of combined EPA+DHA or discuss prescription EPA with your clinician. Strict vegans may prefer algal DHA. Skip or get clearance if you have a fish or shellfish allergy, a bleeding disorder, or you’re on blood thinners, since high omega-3 intakes can increase bruising in some people.
